   BlessedbyGodRN replied to meatballgirl's topic in General Students

   I am glad that you reported the issue to someone in a position who can address it. I went through Excelsior College for my ASN. With Excelsior you must have some kind of a clinical background as a LPN, Paramedic or Respiratory Therapist. The only cli...

3. RN jobs and financial checks

   BlessedbyGodRN replied to lagalanurse's topic in New Nurse

   I'm starting my first RN job very soon. The hospital did have me sign paperwork authorizing a credit check as a part of the hiring process. I really don't know if they actually checked my credit or not. I remember thinking this is weird. It's not lik...

   BlessedbyGodRN replied to MsAlba's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm a new ASN grad in North FL. I have already started a BSN program. One hospital where I was offered a RN position said that once I finished the BSN I would get an additional .50 cents per hour.

8. Bullies at the work place.. vent

   BlessedbyGodRN replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in Relations

   Yes, I did keep my respiratory therapy license thank you very much. I think you are completely missing my point. It seems like the young lady could use an attitude adjustment. That is all I'm saying. I'm not sure why that is so hard to understand. I ...

   BlessedbyGodRN replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in Relations

   Just thought I'd mention, the mistake I made did not involve patient care, but it was none the less financially costly for the department.

    BlessedbyGodRN replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in Relations

    I'm a new graduate RN. I don't even start my first RN job until early next month. Even I know that when a medication error occurs it is the nurses RESPONSIBILITY to notify the charge nurse, an incident report needs to be filled out and the patient's ...

12. Name Badges Worn Backwards

    BlessedbyGodRN replied to westieluv's topic in General Nursing

    I also wear my name badge on a lanyard and it flips to the blank side all the time. When I introduce myself to my patients, I actually stretch my badge out to the patient so that they could see my name. I have an uncommon name and I find it's easier ...

13. What's the deal with this Information Literacy course?

    BlessedbyGodRN replied to nursewithskills's topic in Excelsior

    What JustBeachyNurse said is correct. I took Information Literacy at Penn Foster and transferred it to Excelsior. It cost less than $100 and that was just earlier this year, so I am sure the price hasn't changed too much. You should try to do it befo...

    BlessedbyGodRN replied to Spikey9001's topic in New Nurse

    I am a new graduate RN as well. I have worked at the current hospital where I am now in another field (not nursing related, but involving patient care) for 2.5 years. I started applying for nursing positions as soon as I graduated. I kept getting rej...
